    Apparently a bout with pneumonia? ..exacerbated by heroine and
    alcohol addiction?

    Never was into the Pogues nor was really aware of them.

    According to wiki, Macgowan is a Roman Catholic yet prays to
    Buddah.

    Hey August!

    Never was into the Pogues nor was really aware of them.

    "Dirty Ol' Town" was the first I heard them way back when. I think they make a better live band but cannot say since I never had the pleasure of seeing them live ... errrr ... more than a bit too late now.

    Also I've heard they are big in the Maritimes. I believe "Fairytale of New York" gets much airtime around Christmas in Newfoundland.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    Reviewing their history, I recall "London Calling" being a
    radio favourite. That was pretty good. But they do seem to
    have an accent when they sing - I find that a bit distracting.

    I am sure they came by it honestly.
